IPS-secured Networks

 

Collecting, retaining and securing personal information about customers, employees and other stakeholders is a daily activity for today’s financial services organizations.

Studies in the past 10 to 15 years however have consistently indicated that use of cell phones while driving is particularly risky. Undoubtedly, with well over 200 million cell phone users in the US alone risks are amplified based on frequency of use if nothing else.

The results of most of these studies concluded that although hands-free phones reduced the visual and mechanical distraction, the “cognitive” distraction of simply being involved in the cell phone conversation was still present and was more critical in impairing driver performance. Thus, switching to a hands-free device does not appear to reduce the risk of accident.
